<BR>If you are making more money than you expected to when you set up your t=
ax payment schedule, don't forget to adjust your quarterly payments to compe=
nsate for the increased income. I just found out from my tax person th=
at I owe a hefty chunk of the "extra" income I made in 2003 to Uncle Sam on =
April 15th. On top of that, I will owe two new, bonus-sized quarterly =
payments in April and June. So much for savings and IRA contributions.=

<BR>I love being self- employed the vast majority of the time. This is=
not one of those times......:-(
